I'm familiar with it- I sold one in .30-30/12ga my last semester of college for books. Miss that gun. :)<br><br>My primary quesiont on cost was the TiN coating- I don't know of many places that do that custom, so I'm guessing it's expensive as h***. Although, a black and gold Savage would be pretty cool looking. I was going to ask also how much it had cost to relocate the front sight, but since you mentioned you'd gone with the scope mount, did you keep the front sight at all?<br><br>Now that I've found a source for pistol cartridge adaptors in .30-30, I might have to see if I can find another one and set it up as a survival/camp gun.
